I stopped due to my losing trust in the leadership.
I based it on 8 years of comments / statements from the Chairman starting from that 1st Forum, in a format the Chairman wanted. I heard statements about the financial security of the club what would NEVER be at risk etc, etc !!
The gates are where they are because few believe the Chairmans latest statements. For me if I started going again I am endorsing/backing the chairmans actions, I will not do that.
Then in some of his statements the stayaways are the ones responsible for any further decline, that the club will be unable to improve the squad ! I found that an insult when you look at the shocking waste of club money on the players recruited using his recruitment plan !! Despite continued evidence that the way we handled any possible contract extensions was flawed we continued, alienated players and ended up with huge turnover of players every season and declining league position was maintained.
No matter the quality of our players over the decades we had heart, the team battled, they fought for the shirt. A win is always good, defeats not so but you cheered fighters either way.
Now ? That heart has been ripped away.

Wonder if it was over a player someone wanted that the other party didn’t and sot it started !!!!
You do a fantastic job Matt, so what happens happens.
Thank you.
My point for the item was the to disregard the work of Russ Wilcox with the U23s.
He was doing a good job and even when the manager the issue was more his defensive tactics and not the players ability.Now you have seen poor recruitment yet again. Tactics ? So questionable. Player selection that at times defies description. Fails to field a team in a settled formation which would help ‘a young inexperieced squad who show a lack of maturity’ and yet it is their fault. 352, 532, 433, 4321, 442 just a few of our resident ‘leaders’ sparkling league climbing systems !!

Other than KDT how many of his signings have been on the naughty step ?
Done mine.
Bit of a weird post.
Didn’t he just say something along the lines of they’re coaching him everyday to improve & cut out mistakes?
No – he said that he had had no coaching !
Plus when others had asked for extra coaching when they were being played out of position they were ignored and not helped.
Any news on the problem ?
It makes the decision to bring in Wood and Hackney on deadline day even more baffling!
A lot of his decisions are baffling !! And I fear will remain so !!

Tom Pugh is far better than any of the last lot of signings (permanent or loanees)
Anyone that saw him rated him, well apart from his manager !!
Do I think Mr Cox will do it again – YES. Maybe not Tom but with someone else.

The gates are down because the fans / supporters have lost trust in the board.
Many went to the forums where promises were made regarding the club, the financial security of it. All the grandiose schemes they had because they were ‘professionals’ they knew what they were doing.
And that attitude has delivered just over 2100 gates ! Yet the fans got the blame for that. Responsibilty still not owned by the person who created it.

Best to Matt.
Did mine via ‘edge’ just checked and they are still there. But have them written down.
perhaps people could list their choices on this posting to ensure a saved record.SCUNTHORPE.. V CRAWLEY……. 3 – 1
PORT VALE… V COLCHESTER…. 3 – 1
SWINDON….. V BRADFORD…… 3 – 0
BRISTOL R… V NEWPORT……. 1 – 2
EXETER…… V MANSFIELD……4 – 1Got mine done now. Don’t ask how but done them, saved them.
Used another – it says edge://newtab – does that help anyone ?
I think Matt has problems.
Games for Saturday still not up.
But Cox hasn’t got 40% and the longer in stays in charge below 20% is imminent.

Totally in agreement with you BarnardFoxtonBarker.
Could lose far more than we spend if we get relegated, but yes we have to do something because every game is a likely point
loser.I no longer watch the Quest EFL highlights who wants to watch the low points ??

BARNARD, FOXTON and BARKER – what would the cost be if relegated to the National League. We have all seen that some clubs can go on an even worse failure spiral.

NIGEL ADKINS had a 41.70% win rate while at Scunthorpe United.
Left under good terms, compensation agreed and of he went.
If we go down, the Swan will pocket the parachute payments, bonus for him.
The parachute is I believe is for 1 season only and not that much either !
It is a thought. Something needs to happen and very soon.

Huge job for whoever and gets bigger for each game where points are given away.
Is Nigel the saviour ? Anyone want to discuss.

Once that gap starts and 3 or 4 clubs are in the bottom group it will be hard to get out of it. 5 – 10 more matches could be enough to end our league days – it is that serious.
He won’t sell – the ego says so.

Tactically inept, little imagination. Worse for me is after last nights game he said Barrow had 16 shots and we had 10 !!
Iron Stats produced a stat that should embarrass the Manager. Up to the 72nd minute Barrow had had 4 shots and us 9. From the 73rd minute to the final whistle Barrow had a further 12 and us 1 !!
That is a disgrace, someone decided to defend and from 3 pts got 1 !!
Then the substitutions took a forward off and put a midfielder on then having no outlet for clearances we were constantly defending takes off a mid player for a striker !!Cam Wilson would have loved a chance but we seem reluctant to encourage our younger players.

Going for a win – must be crackers !!
3 or 5 indicates targeting which usually delivers zero points.
